This plugin depends on vim-devicons or kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons. With this dependency satisfied the plugin should work out of box.

Also the editor will be using Emoji fonts (version 12), so one have to be configured.

For skywind3000/asyncrun.vim you use the Emoji_Icon_Theme_Asyncrun() function to show on the statusline.

Icons for filetypes are supported by WebDevIconsGetFileTypeSymbol() function from the vim-devicons. So if the plugin use this function the support is already there.

For others configs, like specify symbols for plugins please open an issue request.

Plug 'https://github.com/ryanoasis/vim-devicons'
Plug 'https://github.com/adelarsq/vim-devicons-emoji'

• Support n plugins and filetypes without a patched font;
• There is no need for a patched font;
• It's beautifull.

Vim and NeoVim have some bugs rendering emojis in some situations. So some emoji can't be used or need some tweeks.

For NeoVim blend shows emojis behind window or popup. See bug.
